Union SG’s big win could land them an exciting transfer sale of Victor Boniface

Some of the best clubs in Europe are vying for Victor Boniface’s services after sparking their interest

Union SG and KRC Genk are tied for first place in Belgium with 75 points each, and a victory for them at their Championship playoffs might earn them an eventful and hectic summer transfer window that will see some players come and depart.

The Brussels-based club anticipates making a lot of sales during the summer transfer window, but Nigerian forward Victor Boniface might bring in a lot of cash.

It is no longer a surprise that clubs like Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt, AC Milan, and Napoli have shown interest in Boniface recently after he briefly held the top scorer’s spot in the Europa League.

The striker’s incredible season for his Belgian team is defined by his 20 goals and 10 assists so far in 49 games.

Nevertheless, according to Transfermarkt, he is valued at €6.00 million in the market, which is only €4.00 million more than the sum Union SG paid Bodo/Glimt for his signature last summer.

However, the 22-year-old is a complete attacker who is quick, focused, strong, and agile. Therefore, Union SG could hope for a transfer fee of at least 20 million euros if they win the league title.

A transfer to a Premier League team like Arsenal or taking Victor Osimhen’s place at Napoli will not be a terrible option for the Akure-born star in the next summer, despite the fact that he declared his fondness for the French and Spanish Leagues.
